As spring approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, people in many regions need to set their clocks forward every second Sunday in March so that it gets dark later and doesn’t get light too early in the morning as the months warm up. This is known as daylight saving time.
Many people fear it because it can initially hinder their sleep, as they can lose an hour of sleep unless they go to bed an hour earlier the night before. Therefore, they are not well rested immediately after the time change. Let’s see how Daylight Saving Time affects your zodiac sign.
Aries – You bounce back quickly
Aries, you are energetic and passionate and don’t let anything get to you for too long. You may be a little tired from the time change because you lost an hour of sleep. However, you have the perfect solution for that: drinking several cups of espresso coffee. Then you’ll be your normal self again. However, you should try to be more patient with others who are more affected by the time change than you, as not everyone can recover as quickly as you.
Taurus – You need an extra nap on Sunday
Taurus, you are the one who sticks heavily to routine because it gives you the security you need. And that’s why you’ll want to make time to take a nap on Sunday afternoon, because you’ll have a hard time getting into the mood with less rest during the week. You need rest, and that is the best way to deal with this time change. You should do better with changes in routine and schedules as they are. The good thing, though, is that you’ve known for a while that this time change was coming, so you had prepared for it. Over time you will adapt to it until the clocks go back again in the fall.
Gemini – Glad you can see your friends later in the day when it is still light
Gemini, you are versatile and adaptable, and very social. You can cope very well with the sudden change in routine by getting extra sleep or drinking lots of coffee, like Aries. Therefore, the change to daylight saving time will only be short-lived. You’ll be happy to see your friends and hang out with them on the patio (if it’s warm enough) or later somewhere outside when it’s still light outside. Therefore, for this reason, you welcome Daylight Saving Time.
Cancer – prioritize sleep above all else
Cancer, you are the one who takes care of everyone else’s needs, and you will neglect your own. That’s the last thing you should ever do, because that’s a way to get burned out, and your caring nature will turn into resentment. The time change will leave you sleep deprived, so you should prioritize rest before doing other work or caring for someone else. If you have young children, this will be a challenge. However, you will need to take some rest before doing anything else so that you never end up with an empty cup.
Leo – You don’t let it get you down and you keep moving forward
Leo, you have big dreams and you won’t let anything or anyone get in your way. You also don’t let situations like the switch to daylight saving time throw you off if you lose some sleep. As a result, you don’t let it affect you and you continue to pursue your dreams, even if you are a little tired. Make room for some rest or you will burn out because lack of sleep is not good for anyone. Eventually the adrenaline rush will end and you may crash.
Virgo – It will force you to take care of yourself
Virgo, you are analytical and you are the one who also meets the needs of others before taking care of yours, like Cancer. The main difference is that you are not nearly as emotional as Cancer. However, when that time change happens and you lose some sleep, you will feel it deeply, and it will affect you. You will eventually become irritable and exhausted. You will not be able to perform your duties as well as you had hoped. Daylight saving time is the only thing that lets you know when to start taking care of yourself.
Libra – can create an inner imbalance
Libra, you need peace and balance, so only daylight saving time can help you cope with the time change. You can become very cranky and get involved in the drama because the lack of quality sleep creates a significant imbalance. What is the solution? Make sure you take a nap during the day or go to bed an hour earlier the night before. But even then, the daylight shift will confuse you, and that can cause you to be out of sorts for a day or so. Be kind to yourself.
Scorpio – You make the most of it by being in harmony with your body
Scorpio, you are very in tune with your body and emotions, so you are intense, passionate and private. You are also aware that the switch to daylight saving time will eventually cause everything to become unbalanced. You’ll probably get some extra sleep by going to bed the night before. However, you will pay attention to your needs. If you need an extra nap because of the time change, you take that extra nap. When you are well rested, you start looking for what you need. Your needs come first!
Sagittarius – Excited that the sun is setting later
Sagittarius, you’re feeling lucky and excited about how the sun will set later now that the time change has taken place. You don’t care if you lose an hour of sleep because you look forward to an extra hour or two of daylight. Like Gemini, you would be the one looking forward to meeting some friends on the patio later in the day while the sun is still shining. Since the sun also sets earlier, you also like to wake up when it is lighter so that you can go for a jog or whatever you like first thing in the morning.
Capricorn – It will make you irritable
Capricorn, you are very ambitious and goal-oriented and need your routine like the other earth signs. The lost hour of sleep will leave you feeling dejected and irritable as you will be determined to continue doing your work and pursuing your ambitions. That’s the worst thing you can do based on that, because you need your rest. That’s why you should use Saturday to get some extra rest the night before so that the time change doesn’t overwhelm you, or rest on Sunday, and best of all, take a break. You need it anyway, regardless of the situation with time.
Aquarius – You won’t notice because you will be busy
Aquarius, you do your thing and don’t let anything happen to you. As a result, you’ll have to check your email and social media to notice the loss of an hour of sleep during daylight saving time. You will also see many users on social media complaining about the time change, and you will find it confusing why so many people are complaining about it. If you get tired as the day goes on, you’ll crash earlier that evening. You’ll be fine the next day.
Pisces – Consider it an opportunity to rest
Pisces, you are dreamy, spiritual and artistic. You will be very tired from the time change, but you will also see it as an opportunity to get some rest, which is your favorite activity. You can order your favorite takeaway, listen to music, watch a movie or read your favorite book. It’s also best if you do, because then it will happen to you on Monday. You don’t want to work or even call in sick, or if you have a business, you only take a day off when you feel well rested.
Falling just before spring every year, daylight saving time can wreak havoc on your circadian rhythm, leaving you irritable and tired for the next few days. Everyone has their own way of dealing with the time change, and you may recognize yourself in the way you deal with it. Suppose you handle it well, like Sagittarius, Leo or Aquarius; good for you. But even if that’s the case, make sure you get the rest you need. Eventually it will catch up with you.
